The Obama Administration’s Uranium One Scandal
National Review ^ | October 21, 2017 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 10/22/2017 10:27:34 AM PDT by AJFavish

Not only the Clintons are implicated in a uranium deal with the Russians that compromised national-security interests.

Let’s put the Uranium One scandal in perspective: The cool half-million bucks the Putin regime funneled to Bill Clinton was five times the amount it spent on those Facebook ads — the ones the media-Democrat complex ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump.

Every time some dem points to the Russian ads and wiki disclosures as a problem I always ask this: what was inaccurate or fake about the info? Never get an answer.

I’ve got to believe there’s enough good people at all levels of government and business that they will support this President in doing what he’s got to do.

We the People must demand our Congress in no uncertain terms that we want the swamp drained.

Looks to me like this is pivotal.

Looks like our extraterrestrial overlords have replaced Jeff Sessions with a lookalike sympathetic to the Deep State.

More importantly, we must demand that our recusive AG drain the swamp.

Tune into MSM sources and you can hear the crickets in full chorus with regard to this story.

we need to tighten this story up to it’s essence. Too long, too complex.

“I’ve got to believe there’s enough good people at all levels of government and business that they will support this President in doing what he’s got to do.”

Interesting how you’ve phrased that, you’ve *got* to believe. I’m not disagreeing with your subtext in any way. But no, you *don’t* have to believe, or maybe more accurately, there may well be enough (I say no, not enough, far from enough) good people as you call them but 1: They may or may not be a majority; and 2: they do not have the singularity of purpose that the players who participated in this grand scheme did, and still do, with regard to keeping the uranium thing out of prosecutorial reach. 2a: Judging by the near complete inability of Republicans to express coherent thoughts in support of views they are supposed to have, the likelihood of these sparse voices ever getting traction are probably small. We know that espionage and bribery have been softened in recent years as egregious crimes. We know that “selling out your country” is, for many, a resume enhancement.

I absolutely believe that easily 2/3rds the people in Washington are simply starstruck by the Clintons and immutably in awe of the crimes they have escaped prosecution over and the amounts of money they have been able to steal over the years. And these folks are actually
acolytes to the Clintons. They are devoted students and followers. In their wildest dreams they too could figure out a way to steal 1/1000 the money the Clintons have, apparently successfully.

The arch-criminals who committed these crimes are not sitting around, stunned by revelations and certainly not slinking off into the sunset with vague hopes they’ll escape prosecution. No, in fact great numbers of them remain inside government; some of them deeply implanted like ticks, or brazenly in the public eye, working to exert their continuing influence. Many of them believe in the righteousness of their cause, like Evelyn Farkas and Lois Lerner. They don’t even need to be ordered to work their voodoo. Their cause is just, sabotaging Trump and glorifying an overwhelming government statist utopia. For every congressman/woman mentioned as opponents to the U-1 deal (I think there were about 4) there are easily 4 or more, like Mueller, Rosenstein, who will resist the implosion of this scheme when the heat gets high enough. But there are probably 400 “influencers” like HRC, Bill Clinton, dozens of folks within CFIUS you or I have never heard of who will be working to cover their tracks, all the way down to the Frederica Wilsons of the world. These folks have no righteous indignation to the idea of selling out America. They are partisan leftists and view this as progress.

For myself, all I can say is that as long as HRC remains unprosecuted for her email breaches, offenses against black letter law that are proven with third grade logic, the system is flat out broken. Never mind even getting to this U-1 thing with the interlocking crimes and the ominous results. It’s not a matter of pessimism or optimism. The system is provably broken and insiders control it on a daily basis for their own aggrandizement. There seems to be only the mildest hint that anyone even cares about whether it is or should be repaired and restored.

Actually, her sense of style and fashion is ahead of its time.

Busting up the FedGov unions would probably help very much getting rid of some of these stealth corrupt statist leftist lifers embedded in our government. I understand President Trump is considering this.

The book “Clinton Cash” reported this more than a year ago.
